Microsoft Offers $250,000 for Rustock Botnet Information
2
Microsoft announced yesterday on a Russian newspaper for a reward of $250,000 to whoever gives an information for the arrest and conviction of Rustock Botnet individuals who are involved. The botnet who infected over 1.6M IP addresses on March 2011 was a big threat to everyone and Microsoft focused on taking it down (Operation b107) and reduced 56.12% from March to June 2011.
I just think these guys are another bunch of teenagers who live on their garage with a computer and an internet just like the kid who took down amazon or ebay with a DDoS attack. But these guys are much more into money than fun. They use their infected computers to send spam emails for viagra products or anything they would earn money from any products.
Rustock was coded so good that top anti-viruses won’t even notice the trojan’s arrival. It just sits down on your PC for a couple of days (more…)

Review: Web Hosting Rating
2We all know that finding the best, cheapest or whatever your needs may have on a web host is pretty tiring and confusing. Reviewing all hosts that you feel like gives you the best for web host needs and comparing them to each other makes it stressful. I found this site that does all these for us.
Web Hosting Rating is a site that reviews, rates and awards webhosting companies for you. And I tell you, they review the companies fairly and truly.
The top 10 best hosting providers is very cool, and has detailed information about the reviewed webhosting company. From best rated host, to the cheapest host are listed there, and every rated host has their reviews on it. Not just their own review on the host, but also user reviews are listed there, people who already used that particular webhost has their own comments and reviews to the host. And they also have articles related to webhosts. Like for example, Managed vs. Unmanaged VPS, How to add FTP accounts using cPanel and many more!
Now, if you are looking for webhost that suites your needs, visit Web Hosting Rating and you’ll surely find the best webhosting that suites you. I guarantee you that. I’m even amazed of what they offer, all the information and stuff, it’s so great!
Zwinky DLLs Found as Adware by avast!
14With the latest VPS update with avast! antivirus protection program which I use for my home was on 25-5-2008. My avast! just updated it’s virus database as what I’ve set it. Nothing happened after the update, I just surfed normally, chat normally, doing what I needed to do, and I turned off my computer.
avast! began detecting the DLLs when I turned on my computer this morning. It keeps popping out it’s warning window saying it had detected some Adwares. I noticed, it was from MyWebSearch folder under Program Files. I went in to that folder and watched the DLLs deleted one-by-one.
